Flanked by his Take That band mates, Mark Owen beamed with happiness as he arrived at Cawdor Church on Sunday to marry his beautiful bride Emma Ferguson.

The dad-of-two and his long-term love tied the knot in an intimate candlelit ceremony at the weekend followed by a reception for 50 family members and friends at the historic nearby Cawdor Castle.

In keeping with tradition, Emma, who wore a romantic white V-neck wedding gown and lace veil for the big day, kept her groom waiting for 25 minutes before heading into the small venue to exchange vows.

Carrying a bouquet of white flowers, she was cheered by the crowd of people who had gathered outside the church to congratulate the couple.

Mark, supported by Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange all clad in black tuxedos, wore a purple velvet morning suit and a traditional top hat.
